Internal mic won't record when headphone is in the audio jack

I've tried toggling the monitor on and off and plugging and unplugging the headphones. I just want to be able to record a track and then layer vocals on top while listening to the first track through headphones. But when I attempt this it seems as though the internal mic becomes disengaged? PLEASE HELP! I just got this new mac a week ago.

Garageband > Preferences > Audio/Midi and choose built in mic as input.

  • Stops recording when headphones unplugged

    I recently recorded a live performance and I unplugged the headphones from the jack on my Macbook Pro and the recording stopped. I don't recall this happening previously. Any thought, ideas or experiences with this happening?

    I'm recording via a line in so the internal mic was disabled. I didn't get the "detected feedback" message and it stopped recording almost immediately after unplugging the headphones.
    Basically: Analog output of an A&H Zed 14 mixer into the input on the Macbook Pro. The reason I removed the headphones from the Macbook was to check the mix at the mixer.

  • The T61 internal mic does not work when docked

    The internal mic does not work when docked. However works fine when undocked.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    I go this issue very recently. What I did to solve the problem was probably mentioned before somwehre over the web.
    First of all, I degraded Skype from the latest version to skype 6.1.0.129. Then I went in Skype - Tools - Option - Advanced Settings - Automatic Updates and click "Turn off automatic updates" and Save. I closed (Quit Skype) Skype then.  
    I clicked on Start (in toolbar) and in search area typed Device Meneger. Then in Sound Video and game controlers, highlite and right click on mouse on IDT High Definition Audio Codec and press Unistall. This will unistall IDT drivers from the system. You must restart your computer.
    Once you come back after reboot, you must go again to the Sound Video and game controlers and remove the rest part of your driver. After reboot go Sound Video and game controlers and click "Scan for hardware changes" then system find your IDT Sound Card again. Please install the latest driver (6.10.6367.0) and reboot. After reboot you should have mic working while on Skype. 

  • Internal speakers won't mute when audio jack in use

    I recently fixed my problem of no sound coming out of any speakers (by turning off Auto-Mute Mode in alsamixer), but now when I plug earphones into the audio jack my built-in speakers don't turn off. I am positive that the audio jack is working, as there is sound coming through the earphones, but sound is also coming through the built-in ones. I am confused because when I first got Arch installed, my earphones would work but not the main speakers. Then nothing worked, and now it won't stop coming through both of them! I will be sure to check back regularly to update you with any information needed.

  • Firefox won't open when I click on the icon. I've tried uninstalling so that I can reinstall, but it says I have to close firefox (which isn't open), so I'm stuck.

    The problem: Firefox won't open when I click on the program.
    Solutions tried: #1) I tried to uninstall the program so that I can download it again, but the screen shows the message "firefox must be clsoed.. to proceed with installation". However, firefox is not open.
    #2) I tried to download firefox, thinking that possibly it would update and solve the problem. However, I get the same error message that "firefox must be clsoed.. to proceed with installation" Problem is that firefox is not open.
    I've done a screen shot, so you can see that I do not have the firefox browser open.

    Thanks for the reply. I tried repairing the permissions (as well as several other things like deleting the Finder preferences file), but no dice.
    Given that the problem cropped up right after updating OS X on two separate machines, it's looking to me like it's just a bug that needs squashing at this point.

  • My Itunes won't open when I click on the program.

    My Itunes won't open when I click on the icon/program. It will flash like it's going to open on the bottom bar on windows 7 but then doesn't do anything, I have tried deleting it and redownloading it, however this still hasn't done anything. What can i do??? Thanks.

    Can you right mouse click iTunes icon and choose "Run as Administrator"?
    If this fails:
    Try SCAN your Windows system files for possible corruption:
    Go to command prompt (START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES right mouse click "command prompt" and choose "Run as Administrator"
    type in
    sfc /scannow
    let Windows fix any system files that need to be repaired.
    Restart the computer if it did actually repair any files.

  • Internal mic not available with Apple headphones

    Hi there! I hope somebody can clear this up for me.
    I often use my Apple headphones with the built-in mic to monitor my recordings on GarageBand (like listening to one track as I record another over it), but I use the internal mic to record rather than the external mic on the headphones. However, now when I plug the headphones in, there is no option for me to use the internal mic on the computer. I've looked on the system preferences and on the GarageBand preferences, and no amount of jimmying with the settings will let me record through the internal mic while having playback through the headphones. I know the headphones are somewhat damaged due to my wearing them when I exercise (the sweat and all). Is it that the headphones are damaged, or that the computer has a problem which is making using the internal mic with the headphones not an option? What should I do to fix it? Thanks so much for your help!

    Please Apple fix this problem, this has been bugging me for a long time.. No solution so far...

  • HP Probook 4530s - internal mic does not work when on messenger or skype, webcam does?

    HI there,
    I have an HP Probook 4530s. When I go on MSN messenger or Skpye, the internal webcam works, but the internal mic doesn't. I can't hear them speaking either. However when I tested my internal mic outside of these two places it works perfectly fine - problems?!

  • Internal hdd won´t sleep, when booting from firewire. How to spindown?

    Hi,
    when I boot my powerbook from an external firewire drive, the internal hard drive does not spindown, no matter, what the disk sleep setting is. I tried pmset and the SpindownHD tool, provided by Apple´s CHUD, but the internal drive remains active, all the time. I can also unmount the internal drive, but no matter what I do, it won´t sleep.
    Any advice? Thanks.

    I ended up re-installing Yosemite 10.10.2 on both drives, and things are (so far) back to normal. I'll be back again if I have this problem recur.

  • I have a problem closing tabs in Firefox v3.6.13. The first tab on the left hand side (ie the page that opens when I launch Firefox) won't close when I click on the red x.

    I can't close the left hand tab except by exiting firefox. When i launch firefox the original tab stays open when I click on the red x, even if I have other tabs open.
    i can alter the website displayed on the left hand tab but it still won't close and leave other more recent tabs open.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:

  • Know why Premiere Elements 3.0 won't start when I double click the icon?

    I have Windows Vista 32 bit.  I have Premiere Elements 3.0 and the 3.0.2 patch.  When I double click the icon, it won't load.  I uninstalled and reinstalled the app but it still won't load.  It worked as recently as last week.  I had some virus issues so I took my laptop to Geek squad and they "fixed" the issues.
    I never had this problem with Premiere before.  Anybody know what might be causing it not to start?
    I have been considering an upgrade.  I see that they are up to version 9.  Will version 9 even work on Vista?

    It depends.
    What do you mean by "I never had this problem before"? Do you mean Premiere Elements worked fine until the Geek squad restored your computer?
    Unless they totally wiped your hard drive and reinstalled your operating system, they may have patched but not totally fixed your problem.
    Or it could be that your computer just needs a good cleaning and defragging. Assuming you've got adequate power and a good 30-50 gigabytes of free defragmented space on your C drive.
    But there's a very good chance that, if you've re-installed version 3 and it still won't run, then version 9 won't run either. After all, if you still haven't remedied yoru core problem, a new vehicle isn't likely to make any difference, right?
    Still, there's no harm in trying. Why not download free trial and see?

  • When playing music through the audio port on my macbook pro only the left speakers/headphones work. external speakers are fine!

    I am having problems with the 3.5mm audio jack on my mac book pro. its been just over a year and now when i connect 3.5 headphones or speakers they only play the left speakers. the right speakers do not work.

    If you go to System Preferences (from the Apple menu) > Sound and select Output, how is the Balance slider set? If it is all the way to the left, put it in the middle.
    Best of luck.
